  • She is an author with an Amazon-bestseller to her credit. There are sources to corroborate the content in the article, including the leading Indian daily The Indian Express and the Passion Vista Magazine, besides citations to the book. Will add more sources on finding them. I hope the article is not deleted as the existing sources validate the content.49.207.209.71 (talk) 09:46, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • The New Indian Express source does not provide WP:SIGCOV of Janikova and the Passion Vista source I would guess is pay-to-play. Being an Amazon bestseller is not any indication of notability, see here for why. (t · c) buidhe 19:09, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • An "author with an Amazon-bestseller to her credit"? See my note below about the book The Prosperity Factor. — Hebrides (talk) 09:09, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Per nom. There is no substantial covarage from proper sources. Only some presentations, obviously covert press releases and promotional stuff. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 09:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I have spent some time searching for material that might substantiate this person's notability. Unfortunately, every discovery brought further doubts, leading finally to my conclusion that the article should be deleted. To save other editors the time and trouble, here are a few things I found:
  • The book The Prosperity Factor seems to be a compilation of contributions by around fifty authors. Janik is one of these, and her contribution, entitled Best No-Bake Success Recipe, occupies about seven pages in this 384-page book. This book appears in many different covers, each featuring a photograph of one of the 50-or-so co-authors next to Joe Vitale. I removed the book cover image showing Vitale and Janik since it wrongly implied that they were the only co-authors. The book cover template here has a silhouette next to Vitale entitled "Your photo next to Joe", implying that a route to some sort of "fame" was being offered.
  • The book by Janik (The True Story of the Spiritual Awakening…) is "independently published".
  • The apparent journal paper Marketabilty of Block-Chain Technology in Third World Scenario is merely a transcript of an interview with Janik. Neither the paper nor the journal have any entries in Google Scholar.

Further searches failed to reveal anything that might establish the notability of the subject of this article. — Hebrides (talk) 20:23, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
